At the Richmond Food Bank, we are proud to spotlight one of our outstanding community partners: Montrose Properties. Their commitment to sustainable development goes hand in hand with their deep investment in community well-being. This summer, Montrose has stepped forward as a matching donor for our Brighter Days, Fuller Plates campaign, but time is running out. With the campaign ending on June 30, every dollar donated right now will be matched to help ensure local children and families don’t go hungry during the school break.
They’re helping build a more resilient Richmond by giving back to the very community they work and live in. Thanks to their generosity, every donation to this campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact and helping us reach more families during the critical summer months.
Q&A with Montrose Properties
To help our community get to know Montrose a little better, we asked them to share more about who they are, what motivates their giving, and why this campaign matters to them.
Q: Can you introduce your organization and tell us a bit about your mission?
A: At Montrose Properties, we are committed to building and owning high-quality, sustainable industrial real estate that not only supports economic growth but also enhances community well-being. We believe in the power of development to create positive, long-lasting impacts on both businesses and the neighbourhoods around us. We are proud to support the Richmond Food Bank and their Brighter Days, Fuller Plates campaign, which provides kid-friendly meals to families during the summer months when school programs pause. This initiative is a vital part of our commitment to giving back to the community.
Q: What inspired your organization to partner with the Richmond Food Bank?
A: As a Richmond-based company, we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. The Richmond Food Bank plays a vital role in addressing food insecurity locally, and we’ve been proud to support their efforts over the years through various initiatives. When the opportunity came up to join the Brighter Days, Fuller Plates matching campaign, it felt like a natural fit. The campaign focuses on helping families during the summer months, when children are especially vulnerable to food insecurity. Partnering on this initiative allows us to amplify donations and make a meaningful impact in our own community.
Q: What impact do you hope this matching campaign will have on the community?
A: Our hope is that this campaign not only raises vital funds but also raises awareness. We hope it inspires others to get involved, even in small ways. Every dollar matched means more meals, more support, and more hope for those who need it most.
Q: Why is supporting local food security important to your organization?
A: Food security is the foundation of a thriving community. No one should have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. As a company committed to long-term community development, we recognize that access to basic needs like food is essential to a strong resilient society.
Q: What would you say to encourage others to donate during this matching campaign?
A: This is a chance to make your generosity go further. Every dollar donated will be matched by Montrose, doubling the impact and helping to provide more meals for families in need. Whether you donate $10 or $100, it all adds up to brighter days and fuller plates for our neighbours.
The Clock is Ticking! Campaign Ends June 30th.
There are just a few days left to double your impact. Every dollar is matched by Montrose, but only until Monday, June 30th. Your gift helps us provide kid-friendly meals during the high-need summer months. Together, we can make sure no child in Richmond goes hungry this summer.
Let’s make every remaining day count. Thank you, Montrose Properties, for being a champion of brighter days and fuller plates!
